How long do you want snow to stick around on the ground for.
For me I’d say a week at the most, after that it gets annoying and icy, slushy and brown.
Rochester falls in the >30 days but melts category, longest snowpack is 35 days on average but only a little over 60% of the winter has snow cover.

More than 30 days but can melt during long thaws. Kinda like Rochester I guess.

Ideally, 2-10 days at a time (during a cold-spell) for to accentuate pasture growth upon melting.
Fresh snowfall>>>>>>>>>old, stale snowpack.

2-10 days sounds nice. Of course during cold spells the snowpack could last 20-30 days but that should be unusual.

1 day? It's difficult for snow to melt in 1 day unless if it's a tiny amount. I think how many days throughout the winter should have snow cover, or something like that, would be a better question. Snow almost always melts in one day here, even when we got 2” in a few hours back in Feb it was totally gone the next day. |

I'd like it to be snowy from mid December until the end of February. That would cover Christmas and my birthday then!
Tbh it would be nice just to actually see some snow on the ground that is more than 1cm. It's been years since we had any measurable snowfall.

3-4 months like a subarctic climate. Never happens like that here though. Usually max is about 2 to 3 weeks

4-5 months
Then 4 months of summer and the rest is shoulder seasons.

3-4 months would probably be ideal. Something like Nov 15th-Mar 15th.

3-4 is good. 4 is OK, but 5 months on average is too long. 2 is too short.
I live in the 10-30 range. Usually it thaws every few weeks. In very cold winters it can last all winter, but some winter months have almost zero snow cover.

A permanent snowpack from late October to late March so about five months.

I voted for less than once in 1 year, since my dream climate has snowfall only once every 10 years.

Permanent snow pack from mid-late October until mid-late April would be nice, so 5.5-6 months of snowpack.

3 months or so would be good for me, with an occasional thaw. That's long enough to feel like I had a proper winter without being so long that it gets annoying or depressing.

3~5 days of measurable snowfall and melting within a week most of the time. Big snow event once in 5 years on average.

On average I'd like the longest-lasting snowpack of the winter to be a few weeks long in January or February. I feel like snow all winter would get boring, but I want it to also not be too uncommon. Maybe covered ground 1/3 of the time, patchy snow 1/3 of the time, and bare ground 1/3 of the time.
